Creating the perfect Mango Avocado Salsa involves not just combining ingredients but also understanding how to enhance their natural flavors. One of the key components in this process is lime juice and zest. Lime juice not only adds a tangy brightness that complements the sweetness of the mango but also helps to keep the avocado from browning. The acidity of lime juice activates the taste buds, making each bite refreshing and exhilarating.

Ingredients
  

1 ripe mango, diced

1 ripe avocado, diced

1 small red onion, finely chopped

1 medium red bell pepper, diced

1-2 serrano peppers, finely minced (adjust to taste)

1 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Juice of 2 limes

Zest of 1 lime

Salt, to taste

Pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon honey (optional, for added sweetness)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by washing all your fruits and vegetables. Dice the mango and avocado into small, even pieces. Finely chop the red onion and red bell pepper, and mince the serrano peppers (remove seeds for less heat if desired).

    Mix the Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced mango, avocado, red onion, red bell pepper, and serrano peppers.

      Flavor it Up: Add in the fresh cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, and season with salt and pepper to taste. If you prefer a slightly sweeter salsa, drizzle in the honey and mix gently.

        Gently Combine: Using a spoon, gently fold the ingredients together to avoid mashing the avocado. Ensure everything is well mixed without overmixing.

          Taste and Adjust: Sample your salsa and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more lime juice, salt, or honey according to your preference.

            Chill and Serve: For best results, let the salsa sit for at least 15-30 minutes in the refrigerator. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

              Garnish (Optional): Just before serving, you can add an extra sprinkle of chopped cilantro or a lime wedge on the side for presentation.
